A method of predicting a motion vector for a current block in a current picture includes obtaining, by a moving picture decoding device, a direction of a reference picture of the current picture, based on a display order of the reference picture and a display order of the current picture, obtaining, by the moving picture decoding device, at least three forward motion vectors for at least three blocks other than the current block based on the direction of the reference picture, wherein the at least three forward motion vectors correspond to the at least three other blocks, respectively, predicting, by the moving picture decoding device, a forward motion vector for the current block by using a median operation of the at least three forward motion vectors and decoding the current block in the current picture using the predicted forward motion vector for the current block.

1. A method of predicting a motion vector for a current block in a current picture by a moving picture decoding device, the method comprising: obtaining, by the moving picture decoding device, at least three forward motion vectors for at least three blocks other than the current block based on the direction of the reference picture, wherein the direction of the reference picture is based on a display order of the reference picture and a display order of the current picture; predicting, by the moving picture decoding device, a forward motion vector for the current block by using a median operation of the at least three forward motion vectors; and decoding the current block in the current picture using the predicted forward motion vector for the current block.
